the project, which involves the subdivision of 28.66 acres into five residential
lots and one open space lot consisting of 21.8 acres. The project design
has been reduced in scope from that originally approved in 1987 in order
to conform to the Multiple Species Conservation Program. The project
site is located within the Loma Del Sol Specific Plan and is zoned RRO
(Residential-Recreation Oriented; .5 dwelling units per acre).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.

3. SUBJECT: MANDATORY TESTING FOR METHANE GAS IN
THE SANTA FE VALLEY AREA
(Supv. Dist: 2)
OVERVIEW:
Methane gas has been detected in the soil at several locations throughout
the Santa Fe Valley. Unfortunately, it has been discovered in levels that
are sufficient to pose a potential threat of fire or explosion. Wherever
methane gas has been detected at levels that could represent a potential
hazard, the County requires that a methane mitigation system be installed
in each home.
Although methane testing has been completed at several subdivisions, many undeveloped
areas have yet to be tested. Currently, the County does not have an ordinance
requiring testing for the presence of methane gas in the soil. Mandatory
methane testing in the Santa Fe Valley area is necessary to protect public
health, safety and welfare. This Board letter recommends that the County
of San Diego establish an ordinance to require methane gas testing in
the Santa Fe Valley area
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with these actions.
RECOMMENDATION:
SUPERVISOR SLATER:
Direct the Chief Administrative Officer and County Counsel to return
to the Board in approximately 60 days with an ordinance requiring methane
gas testing on properties in the Santa Fe Valley area.
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board of
Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent:
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
4. SUBJECT: FURTHERING VOLCAN MOUNTAIN PRESERVE
FOUNDATION’S EFFORTS
(Supv. Dist: All)
OVERVIEW:
Rising to an elevation of 5,353 feet, Volcan Mountain’s 15-mile ridge
covers more than 25,000 acres, stretching from Lake Henshaw to the Anza-Borrego
Desert, forming a scenic backdrop for the Julian area. The mountain has
become a unique ecosystem, reflecting a great diversity of vegetation and
wildlife that has remained virtually undisturbed. Since the original acquisition
of preserve land in 1989, the County of San Diego continues to purchase
parcels on the mountain, with the current preserve now totaling nearly 4,500
acres. Today’s action will further the Volcan Mountain Preserve Foundation’s
conservation and land acquisition efforts, preserving valuable habitat for
future generations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request will appropriate $10,000 of 2000-2001 Community
Reinvestment fund balance.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHAIRWOMAN JACOB:
Appropriate $10,000 of 2000-2001 Community Reinvestment fund balance to
the Volcan Mountain Preserve Foundation to further the preservation efforts
on Volcan Mountain.
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board of
Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
5. SUBJECT: THIRD AMENDMENT TO JOINT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND FALLBROOK SPORTS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF RECREATION FACILITIES AT FALLBROOK SPORTS PARK
(Supv. Dist: 5)
OVERVIEW:
In coordination with the County of San Diego, the Fallbrook Sports Association
has completed construction of the first phase of recreation improvements
at the Fallbrook Sports Park. These park improvements will benefit the
community by providing needed park and recreational facilities for the residents
of Fallbrook and the surrounding area. Completed improvements include grading
of the entire site, sewer and water infrastructure, sports field lighting,
landscaping and irrigation, a multi-purpose sports field, a roller hockey
arena, bleachers, and paving of the parking lot. The Sports Park was officially
dedicated and opened to the public on May 13, 2000.
The Fallbrook Sports Association is now requesting funding for the construction
of additional recreation facilities at the Fallbrook Sports Park. This
action will approve the Third Amendment to the Joint Agreement with the
Fallbrook Sports Association to provide for the construction of additional
recreational facilities including a softball field, walkways and ramps,
a concession building, and landscaping. All improvements will be Americans
With Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. Funding for this request is provided
by $144,250 in Parks and Recreation Department General Funds allocated
by the Board of Supervisors during Fiscal Year 2000-2001 budget deliberations,
at the request of Supervisor Horn, to provide for additional improvements
at the Sports Park.
In addition, the Sports Association is now requesting the assistance
of the County in operating and maintaining the Sports Park. Approval
of the Third Amendment to the Agreement will allow the Sports Association
to reimburse the County for operating and maintaining the Sports Park.
This action will also authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
to execute an Agreement with the Fallbrook Public Utility District and
the Sports Association authorizing connection of the Sports Park to the
public sewer system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $144,250 to be encumbered in the Third Amendment
to the Agreement with the Fallbrook Sports Association are budgeted and
available in the Parks and Recreation Department current year budget. The
funding source is General Funds which were allocated to the department during
Fiscal Year 2000-2001 budget deliberations, at the request of Supervisor
Horn, for this project.
RECOMMENDATION:

the information contained therein prior to approving the project, that
the ND reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the Board of
Supervisors and that there are no changes in the project or in the circumstances
under which it is undertaken which involve significant new environmental
impacts which were not considered in the previously adopted ND, or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects,
and that no new information of substantial importance has become available
since said ND was prepared.
2.

6. SUBJECT: COUNTY PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL MENTOR –
PROTÉGÉ PROGRAM TO HELP SMALL, LOCAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS
(Supv. Dist: All)
OVERVIEW:
Associated General Contractors of San Diego, in cooperation with the City
of San Diego, San Diego Convention Center Corporation, San Diego County
Water Authority and other local agencies, has initiated a Regional Mentor
– Protégé Program to help small, emerging construction contractors develop
their businesses in San Diego County. The program goal is to help these
firms while expanding the ready, willing and able number of contractors
available to local agencies for projects. The program will offer free, volunteer
mentorship to eligible contractors, as well as assistance from consultants
and City staff. Protégé contractors will complete courses of instruction
and graduate with enhanced business skills.
The County Department of Public Works utilizes private contractors for
road improvements, bridge, sewer line and airport construction, and many
other infrastructure projects. Federally funded projects are required
to meet Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goals based on “ready, willing
and able” small, disadvantaged contractors. Participation in the Mentor
– Protégé Program will, over time, help increase the number of small,
disadvantaged minority and women-owned contractors eligible to bid as
prime and sub contractors on County projects, which will in turn help
the County meet required goals for federally funded projects.
Cost for local agency participation in the Mentor-Protégé Program would
be $15,000 annually, to cover administrative costs associated with the
program, including database management, correspondence, certificate production
and award, and outreach to potential mentors and Protégé candidates. These
functions will be mainly administered by the City of San Diego and reimbursed
through a trust fund created with funding from participating agencies.
Mentors will offer services free, and be provided by the Associated General
Contractors of America, National Electrical Contractors Association and
American Subcontractors Association.
This is a request to affirm support for the pilot program expected to
begin in January 2001; and direct the Chief Administrative Officer to
facilitate County participation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request is budgeted in the Department of Public Works Road Fund.
Funding sources are Road Fund, Airport Enterprise Fund and Flood Control
District funds, by a formula based on typical participation by these sections
of Public Works for various Capital Improvement Projects. This request
will result in a current year cost of $15,000, annual cost of $15,000,
and will require no additional staff years.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program will help grow small businesses throughout the County of
San Diego, eventually resulting in more opportunities for these construction
contractors, more success for their businesses, and better ability to
provide jobs for area residents.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
Affirm support for the regional Mentor – Protégé program in cooperation
with Associated General Contractors of San Diego, and direct the Chief
Administrative Officer to facilitate participation in the program.
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Slater, seconded by Supervisor Cox, the Board of
Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

a term ending October 31, 2003. The agreements authorize the Director,
Department of Public Works to extend the termination date until funds
are exhausted; and to adjust allowable billing rates on an annual basis
to mutually agreed upon fair and reasonable rates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This proposal is budgeted in the FY 2000-01 Department of Public Works Program.
Funding source is identified as TransNet; all non-TransNet projects undertaken
under this agreement will be reimbursed from the appropriate funding source.
If approved, this request will result in current year cost of $1.5 million,
no annual cost and will require no additional staff years.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Find

9. SUBJECT: INTENTION TO ESTABLISH ZONES OF BENEFIT IN
COUNTY SERVICE AREAS NO. 81 - FALLBROOK LOCAL PARKS DISTRICT AND NO. 83
- SAN DIEGUITO LOCAL PARKS DISTRICT
(Supv. Dist: 3,5)
OVERVIEW:
The Advisory Board of County Service Area No. 81 - Fallbrook Local Parks
District has petitioned the County to form two zones of benefit within the
District and to conduct a mailed ballot proceeding for levy of benefit assessments.
The assessments would provide financing to maintain existing and additional
park and recreation facilities serving the communities of Fallbrook, Rainbow,
and De Luz.
The developer of 4S Ranch subdivision has petitioned
for formation of a zone of benefit within County Service Area No. 83 –
San Dieguito Local Parks District and to conduct a mailed ballot proceeding
for levy of benefit assessments. The assessments would provide financing
to maintain six new local parks to be located within the boundaries of
the zone.
These requests are to initiate proceedings to form the zones of benefit
and approve the assessments. The County Service Area program allows unincorporated
area property owners to fund various types of services, including park
maintenance. County Service Areas No. 81 and 83 already exist for this
purpose, but provide only a minimal level of park maintenance. Property
owner approval of the benefit assessments will provide financing for operation
and maintenance of additional park areas with costs allocated on a fair
share basis to all benefiting property owners.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for County Service Area No. 81 proposal is budgeted in the District
and will result in a $7,500 current year cost. Funding for County Service
Area No. 83 proposal is an expense to the developer. If approved, these
requests will result in no annual cost and will require no additional
staff years.

10. SUBJECT: OCEANSIDE TRANSIT CENTER: AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR PARKING EXPANSION
(Supv. Dist: 5)
OVERVIEW:
On May 15, 1979 (55), Board approved Joint Powers Agreement With North San
Diego County Transit Development Board, City of Oceanside, and Oceanside
Community Development Commission for development of Oceanside Transit (County
Contract No. 14473-E). Under terms of Joint Powers Agreement, County managed
development of Oceanside Transit Center, which opened in 1984 at Tremont
and Cleveland in downtown Oceanside.
North San Diego County Transit Development Board, City of Oceanside,
Oceanside Community Development Commission, and County have an opportunity
to construct a parking structure to meet demand. The structure will be
north of the Oceanside Transit Center on land owned by the City of Oceanside.
Negotiations are underway for amendment to Joint Powers Agreement detailing
financial, environmental, project management and other responsibilities
related to the future parking structure. A request to amend Joint Powers
Agreement will be submitted for Board consideration, anticipated in December
2000.
Requested actions today are amendment of federal Program Supplement No.
085, which has already been accepted by the County, to reallocate funds
to construction of a parking structure and amendment of County Element
of the Regional Transportation Program to include this project in the
Regional Transportation Improvement Program. These actions will ensure
funding is in place so project can proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this proposal are not budgeted. Funding source for allocation
is Program Supplement No. 085 to County-State Agreement No. 11-5957, providing
$1,261,000 of Federal Aid Urban funding for expansion of Oceanside Transit
Center. If approved, this request to reallocate funds and amend the Regional
Transportation Improvement Program will result in no current year cost,
no annual cost, and require no additional staff years. Future fiscal impacts
will be determined in the amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement, which
will be brought before the Board at a later date.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
Action as recommended will fund additional parking at Oceanside Transit
Center. This parking will be available to downtown Oceanside businesses
on evenings and weekends, thereby encouraging additional customers and
sales. It will also encourage passengers who have been parking on street
in front of businesses to relocate to new parking structure. This will
make more on street parking available to business customers. Supplemental
parking will also encourage additional train passengers, reducing employee
automobile trips to and from work and making the workplace more accessible.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Find
that Amendment to Regional Transportation Improvement Program is not subject
to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15276, because CEQA does not apply to development or adoption
of a Regional Transportation Improvement Program.
2. Authorize
Clerk of Board to execute, upon receipt, Amendment to Program Supplement
No. 085, reallocating $1,261,000 of Federal Aid Urban funding from “right-of-way”
to “construction.”
3. Approve
and authorize establishment of appropriations in amount of $1,261,000
in Capital Outlay Fund for Capital Project Kb556, Oceanside Transit Center
Parking Structure Construction, contingent upon approval of Amendment
to Program Supplement No. 085, reallocating Federal Aid Urban fund from

11. SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FIRE PROTECTION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CAMPO FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO ON BEHALF OF
COUNTY SERVICE AREA 112 – CAMPO
(Supv. Dist: 2)
OVERVIEW:
On August 4, 1987 (29), the Board approved a fire protection agreement between
the County of San Diego and Campo Fire Department to provide structural
fire protection and emergency medical services in County Service Area 112
– Campo.
The Board of Directors of Campo Fire Department requested a new agreement
transferring responsibility for purchasing equipment and supplies from
the County to Campo Fire Department. This agreement will benefit County
Service Area 112 Campo by reducing the cost of using the County Department
of Purchasing and Contracting to purchase; Auditor and Controller to pay
for supplies, equipment and maintenance; and Department of Public Works
Special Districts section for administration. Under the new agreement,
when Campo Fire Department purchases minor equipment, it will be directly
reimbursable from County Service Area 112 funds.
This is a request to enter into an agreement with Campo Fire Department on behalf
of County Service Area (CSA) 112 allowing Campo Fire Department direct
reimbursement from CSA 112.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request will have no impact on the County General Fund. Funding source
is County Service Area 112. If approved, this request will result in no
current year costs, no annual cost and will require no additional staff
years.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
Approve and authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute two copies of
the Fire Protection Agreement between Campo Fire Department and County
of San Diego on behalf of County Service Area 112 allowing Campo Fire
Department to be reimbursed by County Service Area 112.

OTAY VALLEY REGIONAL PARK – ACQUISITION OF PARCEL NO. 2000-0071-A
(MALCOLM)
(Supv. Dist: 1)
OVERVIEW:
The Cities of San Diego and Chula Vista and the County of San Diego have
formed a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) to coordinate the acquisition,
planning and design of the Otay Valley Regional Park. Eventually, the JEPA
envisions the inclusion of 6,000 acres of land in the park spanning 13 miles
from southern San Diego Bay to Otay Lakes.
The County has identified a .99 acre parcel for acquisition and inclusion in
the park. The Board is requested to set a hearing date for December 6,
2000 to consider the purchase of Parcel No. 2000-0071-A (Malcolm).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this request. Should the Board
approve the purchase on December 6, 2000, funds for the acquisition are
budgeted in Capital Project KA0550 – Otay Valley Regional Park Acquisitions.
The purchase would result in a cost of $46,000 in fiscal year 2000/2001,
no additional cost in subsequent years and the addition of no staff years.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Direct the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to publish the required
Notice of Intention to Purchase in accordance with Government Code Sections
25350 and 6063.

13. SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR
GENERAL PLAN 2020
(Supv. Dist: All)
OVERVIEW:
General Plan 2020 project is the comprehensive update of the San Diego County
General Plan. The General Plan establishes the future growth and development
patterns for the unincorporated area of the County. The General Plan update
will accommodate population growth and plan for infrastructure needs, development,
and resource preservation in the unincorporated area to the year 2020.
Currently the Department of Planning and Land Use has a contract with Wallace
Roberts & Todd, LLC, to provide consulting services for General Plan
2020. The contract was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 12,
1998 (2) and obtained through competitive procurement. This contract was
amended on February 28, 2000, to proceed with one of the consultant’s original
optional services to assist in the creation of a biological species prediction
model.
Since that time, a number of changes to the General Plan 2020 project
extent and process have occurred such as the expanded public participation
process, development of a transportation model, expansion of scope of
work for preparation of the Environmental Impact Report and development
of a population constraints model. In response to the changes in the
General Plan 2020 project, staff and the consultant team have negotiated
changes to the original Scope of Work and the Consultant Contract.
This is a request to authorize a second amendment to the consultant contract.
The additional project cost is $861,350, which includes $721,350 for the
added consultant tasks for a total contract cost of $3,314,308 and $140,000
for optional tasks. In addition, the contract amendment is needed to
address additional tasks referred to General Plan 2020 by the Board of
Supervisors and the Planning Commission and to expand the timeline for
the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, this will result in $861,350 in the current fiscal year for
the contract amendment, and no annual costs and will require the addition
of no staff years. Of the $861,350 current year cost, $800,000 is budgeted
in the Department of Planning and Land Use, the remaining $61,350 is available
from the Land Use and Environmental Group Management Reserves.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Approve and authorize execution by the Clerk of the Board,
the amended agreement with Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC, in the amount
of $861,350, which includes an additional $140,000 for optional tasks,
and extending the contract to February 28, 2003, to provide planning,
environmental, and mapping services. (4 VOTES)
2. Find that the Board of Supervisors
has determined that the proposed services can be provided more economically
and efficiently by the proposed independent contractor than by persons
in the Classified Service.
3. Transfer appropriations in the amount of $61,350 from the Land
Use Environmental Group Management Reserves to the Department of Planning
and Land Use for General Plan 2020 consultant costs. (4 VOTES)
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Jacob, seconded by Supervisor Slater, the Board
of Supervisors continued the item to November 1, 2000, and directed the
Department of Planning and Land Use to immediately notify all property owners
in order to conduct further discussion on the maps and plans, and to come
back with a time line in regards to the process and what’s to be accomplished.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Horn
ABSENT: Roberts
14. SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM:
SECOND CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE PROGRESS REPORT
ON CONSUMER CONFIDENCE PROTECTION ACT OF 1999
(Supv. Dist: All )
OVERVIEW:
On October 11, 2000 (4), your Board introduced Ordinance for further Board
consideration on October 25, 2000.
This letter provides a progress report of implementation activities and inspection
results, which indicate that pricing errors continue to be predominantly
in the favor of retailers, both in frequency and in value. It also requests
that the Board take the following actions: 1) continue the program as
an effective tool for consumer protection and maintenance of equity in
the marketplace; 2) approve revisions to Ordinance No. 9004 for clarification;
3) authorize the posting of businesses failing inspections on the County
website; 4) support continued efforts to seek State funding for a point-of-sale
inspection program; and 5) direct the Chief Administrative Officer to
report program results during the 01-02 budget process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended action would result in no increase in net county costs
and no additional staff years.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
This proposal will have no additional impacts on businesses that are either
in compliance with the California Business and Professions Code relating
either to pricing accuracy, or with the current county ordinance. Impacts
will be limited to the recovery of additional inspection costs resulting
from the need to perform re-inspections of businesses found not to be
in compliance. In addition, businesses not complying with the registration
and permit process will be subject to penalties.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
